Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、接着剤、とりわけ床用接着剤や樹脂改質剤等に用いられる酢酸ビニル系樹脂に関するものであり、更に詳しくはホルムアルデヒドの放散量が低減できる酢酸ビニル系樹脂、及びそれを用いた樹脂組成物、更には接着剤組成物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、塩ビシートやタイル等の床用接着剤等では、酢酸ビニル系樹脂が用いられることが多いが、かかる酢酸ビニル系樹脂は、主として、メタノール溶媒中で酢酸ビニルを重合して製造され、メタノールペーストとして使用されるため、メタノールの酸化或いは残存酢酸ビニルモノマーの分解等によりホルムアルデヒドが雰囲気中に逸散し刺激臭が漂うという問題が生じている。
【0003】
ホルムアルデヒドは人体に有害であり、空気中10ppm以上存在するとその刺激臭に耐えられなくなるものであり、シックハウス症候群等の原因物質にも挙げられており、ホルムアルデヒドの規制が益々厳しくなっているため、上記酢酸ビニル系樹脂から放散されるホルムアルデヒド量をできるだけ低減させることが望ましい。
【0004】
かかる対策として、▲1▼酢酸ビニルの重合溶媒をメタノールから酢酸エチルやアセトン等の他の種類に変更する方法や、▲2▼ホルムアルデヒドが放散しないようにホルムアルデヒド捕集剤をメタノールペーストに配合する方法が汎用的に行われている。ホルムアルデヒド捕集剤としては従来、尿素、チオ尿素、エチレン尿素、ジシアンジアミド、グリオキザールモノウレタン等が知られている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、本発明者等が詳細に検討した結果、上記▲1▼の方法では、物性面への影響が大きいうえ、乾燥性に問題が生じるものとなり、又、上記▲2▼の方法では、捕集剤のメタノール溶媒への溶解性が問題となる他、ホルムアルデヒド捕集剤の添加量が多くなると物性面への影響が大きくなり、いずれも酢酸ビニル系樹脂が本来有している物性を損なうことなく、ホルムアルデヒドの放散量を低減させることができないのが実状である。
【0006】
そこで、本発明ではこのような背景下において、ホルムアルデヒドの発生が抑制され、樹脂からのホルムアルデヒドの放散量が低減させられた酢酸ビニル系樹脂、及びそれを用いた樹脂組成物、更には接着剤組成物を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
しかるに、本発明者等はかかる事情に鑑みて鋭意研究を重ねた結果、メタノール溶剤中、反応系内の水分率が1.0重量%以下の雰囲気下において、好ましくは更に不活性ガス雰囲気下において、10時間半減期分解温度が50〜70℃であるラジカル発生触媒の存在下に、酢酸ビニル又は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーを重合してなる酢酸ビニル系樹脂が上記目的に合致することを見出し、本発明を完成した。
本発明では、上記酢酸ビニル系樹脂に、更にホルムアルデヒド捕集剤を含有させるとき、ホルムアルデヒドの放散量の低減効果が一層顕著に得られる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について具体的に説明する。
【0009】
本発明の酢酸ビニル系樹脂は、メタノール溶剤中、反応系内の水分率が1.0重量%以下の雰囲気下において、好ましくは更に不活性ガス雰囲気下において、10時間半減期分解温度が50〜70℃であるラジカル発生触媒の存在下に、酢酸ビニル又は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーを重合して得られる。
【0010】
本発明で用いられるラジカル発生触媒としては、10時間半減期分解温度が50〜70℃であるものであればよく、例えば、2,2−アゾビスイソブチロニトリル(AIBN)、2,2−アゾビス−2−メチルブチロニトリル(AMBN)、2,2−アゾビス−2,4−ジメチルバレロニトリル(ADVN)、ラウロイルパーオキサイド(LPO)、アセチルパーオキサイド(APO)、1,1−アゾビス−1−アセトキシ−1−フェニルエタン等が挙げられる。
【0011】
10時間半減期分解温度が50℃未満のラジカル発生触媒では触媒の取り扱いや重合制御が困難となり、70℃を越えるラジカル発生触媒ではメタノール中での重合反応においてホルムアルデヒドの発生量が多くなる恐れがある。
【0012】
更に、重合反応を行うに当たっては、反応系内の水分率を1.0重量%以下の雰囲気下に調整する必要があり、かかる水分率が1.0重量%を越えるとメタノール中での重合反応においてホルムアルデヒド発生量が多くなる。
反応系内の水分率を1.0重量%以下に調整する方法としては、低含水率の触媒や低含水率のメタノール溶剤を用いたり、大気からの吸湿を防止すること等が挙げられる。
又、窒素やアルゴン等の不活性ガス雰囲気下、好ましくは窒素雰囲気下にて反応することにより、大気からの吸湿防止と大気中の酸素によるラジカル発生触媒の不活性化の防止及びメタノールの酸化防止の効果が得られる。
【0013】
尚、反応系内の水分率とは、反応液中に含まれる水分のことであり、カールフィッシャー滴定等の公知の方法により測定される。
【0014】
かくして本発明では、酢酸ビニル又は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーを重合するわけであるが、その他の共重合性モノマーとしては、特に限定されることはなく、(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルや、(メタ)アクリル酸、クロトン酸、イタコン酸(又はその無水物)、マレイン酸(又はその無水物)、フマール酸、ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレート、ジメチルアミノエチルメタクリレート、(メタ)アクリルアミド、メチロールアクリルアミド、グリシジルメタクリレート、アクリロニトリル、スチレン等が挙げられ、50重量%以下、特には40重量%以下含有させることができる。
【0015】
本発明では、上記共重合性モノマーの中でも接着剤としての利用を目的とした時には、(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルが好適であり、(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルとしては、特にアルキル基の炭素数1〜12程度の(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルが好ましく、具体的にはメチル(メタ)アクリレート、エチル(メタ)アクリレート、プロピル(メタ)アクリレート、ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、2−エチルヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート等が挙げられる。
【0016】
酢酸ビニル又は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーを重合するに当たり、上記メタノール溶剤の使用量は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーの合計100重量部に対して20〜80重量部、特には30〜60重量部であることが好ましく、20重量部未満では反応熱の除去が困難となり、80重量部を越えると樹脂の重合度が小さくなり接着剤用途等に供したときに接着物性が不十分となり好ましくない。
【0017】
更に、上記ラジカル発生触媒の使用量は、酢酸ビニル及びその他の共重合性モノマーの合計100重量部に対して0.2〜5.0重量部、特には0.5〜4.0重量部であることが好ましく、0.2重量部未満では重合反応が進まず残存モノマーが多くなり、5.0重量部を越えると重合反応が暴走して発熱が多くなって危険であり好ましくない。
【0018】
又、重合反応における反応温度については、特に限定されないが、50〜70℃であることが好ましく、特には55〜65℃であることが好ましい。かかる反応温度が50℃未満では反応に長時間を費やすこととなり、70℃を越えるとメタノール溶剤中での反応においてホルムアルデヒド発生量が多くなり好ましくない。
【0019】
上記で得られる酢酸ビニル系樹脂は、その重合度が300〜3000であることが接着剤とした時の接着強度や作業性の点で好ましく、特には400〜2500であることが好ましい。該重合度が300未満では接着剤としての接着強度が不足し、3000を越えると接着剤としての粘度が高くなり作業性が悪くなり好ましくない。
【0020】
かくして本発明では、酢酸ビニル系樹脂の製造時におけるホルムアルデヒドの発生が特に抑制されるため、酢酸ビニル系樹脂からのホルムアルデヒドの放散量を低減できるものである。
【0021】
本発明の酢酸ビニル系樹脂には、種々の添加剤を配合し、樹脂組成物とすることも好ましく、必要に応じて、繊維類、着色剤、可塑剤、界面活性剤、揺変剤、安定剤、可使時間延長剤、架橋剤(メラミン系樹脂、イソシアネート系化合物、金属キレート化合物、有機金属化合物、ヒドラジド化合物、エポキシ系化合物、イミン系化合物、不飽和化合物等)、接着性樹脂(ロジン、ロジン誘導体等)等を適宜配合することができる。
【0022】
又、本発明においては、ホルムアルデヒドの放散量を更に低減させる点から、上記酢酸ビニル系樹脂に、従来公知のホルムアルデヒド捕集剤を含有させることも好ましく、かかるホルムアルデヒド捕集剤の含有量は、酢酸ビニル系樹脂100重量部に対して20重量部以下、特には10重量部以下であることが好ましい。かかる含有量が20重量部を越えると接着剤とした場合の接着性能等、各種物性面での低下が起こり好ましくない。
【0023】
上記ホルムアルデヒド捕集剤としては、特に限定されず、公知のものが挙げられ、例えば、尿素、チオ尿素、エチレン尿素、ジシアンジアミド、グリオキザールモノウレタンの他、イミン系化合物、ヒドラジン系化合物、アセト酢酸エステル系化合物等が挙げられる。
【0024】
又、本発明の酢酸ビニル系樹脂は、そのまま塗料、粘着剤、接着剤に使用することができるが、特には接着剤としての利用、中でも床用接着剤としての利用が最も好ましい。
【0025】
床用接着剤の調製にあたっては、更に充填剤を含有させることが好ましく、無機充填剤や有機充填剤等が含有される。無機充填剤としては、炭酸カルシウム、クレー、カオリン、タルク、シリカ、酸化チタン等が挙げられ、有機充填剤としては木粉、殻粉等が挙げられる。
【0026】
かかる充填剤の含有量は、酢酸ビニル系樹脂100重量部に対して、最大400重量部程度までとすることができる。
【0027】
上記接着剤、特に床用接着剤は、有機溶剤溶液、特にメタノール溶剤溶液の形態で用いるのが通常である。この場合の接着剤の固形分濃度は、塗工性等の作業性の観点から50〜90重量%とすることが多い。
【0028】
かくして本発明の酢酸ビニル系樹脂は、種々の用途に適用できるが、中でも接着剤、殊にポリ塩化ビニル等でできたタイルやシートを床に接着する床用接着剤として非常に有用であり、かかる酢酸ビニル系樹脂を使用することにより、該樹脂からのホルムアルデヒドの放散量を低減することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vinyl acetate-based resin used for an adhesive, particularly a floor adhesive or a resin modifier, and more particularly, to a vinyl acetate-based resin capable of reducing the amount of formaldehyde emission, and using the same. The present invention relates to a resin composition, and further to an adhesive composition.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, vinyl acetate resins are often used for floor adhesives such as PVC sheets and tiles, and such vinyl acetate resins are mainly produced by polymerizing vinyl acetate in a methanol solvent, Since it is used as a paste, there is a problem in that formaldehyde escapes into the atmosphere due to oxidation of methanol or decomposition of residual vinyl acetate monomer, causing an irritating odor.
[0003]
Formaldehyde is harmful to the human body, and if it is present in air at 10 ppm or more, it will not be able to withstand the irritating odor.It is also listed as a causative substance such as sick house syndrome, and the formaldehyde regulations are becoming increasingly strict. It is desirable to reduce the amount of formaldehyde emitted from the vinyl acetate resin as much as possible.
[0004]
As such countermeasures, (1) a method of changing the polymerization solvent of vinyl acetate from methanol to another type such as ethyl acetate or acetone, and (2) a method of blending a formaldehyde scavenger with a methanol paste so that formaldehyde is not emitted. Is performed for general purpose. As a formaldehyde scavenger, urea, thiourea, ethylene urea, dicyandiamide, glyoxal monourethane and the like are conventionally known.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as a result of detailed studies by the present inventors, the method (1) has a large effect on physical properties and causes a problem in drying property. In addition to the problem of the solubility of the collecting agent in the methanol solvent, the effect on the physical properties increases when the amount of the formaldehyde collecting agent added increases, all of which impair the physical properties inherent in the vinyl acetate resin. In fact, it is impossible to reduce the amount of formaldehyde emission.
[0006]
Under such circumstances, in the present invention, under such a background, the generation of formaldehyde is suppressed, and the amount of formaldehyde emitted from the resin is reduced, and the vinyl acetate resin, the resin composition using the same, and the adhesive composition The purpose is to provide things.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
However, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies in view of such circumstances, and as a result, in a methanol solvent in an atmosphere in which the water content in the reaction system is 1.0% by weight or less, preferably further in an inert gas atmosphere. A vinyl acetate resin obtained by polymerizing vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers in the presence of a radical-generating catalyst having a 10-hour half-life decomposition temperature of 50 to 70 ° C. meets the above object. Thus, the present invention has been completed.
In the present invention, when the vinyl acetate resin further contains a formaldehyde scavenger, the effect of reducing the amount of formaldehyde emission can be more remarkably obtained.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described specifically.
[0009]
The vinyl acetate resin of the present invention has a 10-hour half-life decomposition temperature of 50 to 50% in a methanol solvent in an atmosphere in which the water content in the reaction system is 1.0% by weight or less, preferably in an inert gas atmosphere. It is obtained by polymerizing vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers in the presence of a radical generating catalyst at 70 ° C.
[0010]
The radical generating catalyst used in the present invention may be any one having a 10-hour half-life decomposition temperature of 50 to 70 ° C., for example, 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), 2,2- Azobis-2-methylbutyronitrile (AMBN), 2,2-azobis-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile (ADVN), lauroyl peroxide (LPO), acetyl peroxide (APO), 1,1-azobis-1 -Acetoxy-1-phenylethane and the like.
[0011]
In the case of a radical-generating catalyst having a 10-hour half-life decomposition temperature of less than 50 ° C., it is difficult to handle and control the polymerization of the catalyst. With a radical-generating catalyst exceeding 70 ° C., the amount of formaldehyde generated in the polymerization reaction in methanol may increase. .
[0012]
Further, in carrying out the polymerization reaction, it is necessary to adjust the water content in the reaction system to an atmosphere of 1.0% by weight or less, and when the water content exceeds 1.0% by weight, the polymerization reaction in methanol is performed. , The amount of formaldehyde generated increases.
Examples of the method for adjusting the water content in the reaction system to 1.0% by weight or less include using a catalyst having a low water content or a methanol solvent having a low water content, and preventing moisture absorption from the atmosphere.
In addition, by reacting in an atmosphere of an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, preferably in a nitrogen atmosphere, it is possible to prevent moisture absorption from the atmosphere, to prevent inactivation of the radical generating catalyst by oxygen in the atmosphere, and to prevent oxidation of methanol. The effect of is obtained.
[0013]
The water content in the reaction system refers to the water content in the reaction solution, and is measured by a known method such as Karl Fischer titration.
[0014]
Thus, in the present invention, vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers are polymerized, but other copolymerizable monomers are not particularly limited, and alkyl (meth) acrylate And (meth) acrylic acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid (or anhydride), maleic acid (or anhydride), fumaric acid, hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate , (Meth) acrylamide, methylolacrylamide, glycidyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, styrene and the like, and can be contained in an amount of 50% by weight or less, particularly 40% by weight or less.
[0015]
In the present invention, when the copolymerizable monomer is intended for use as an adhesive, an alkyl (meth) acrylate is preferable, and as the alkyl (meth) acrylate, the carbon number of the alkyl group is particularly preferable. About 1 to 12 alkyl (meth) acrylates are preferable, and specifically, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, propyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (meth) acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate And the like.
[0016]
In the polymerization of vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers, the amount of the methanol solvent used is 20 to 80 parts by weight, particularly 100 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers in total. Is preferably 30 to 60 parts by weight. If the amount is less than 20 parts by weight, it is difficult to remove the reaction heat. If the amount is more than 80 parts by weight, the polymerization degree of the resin becomes small, and the adhesive property becomes poor when used for adhesives. It is not preferable because it becomes insufficient.
[0017]
Further, the amount of the radical generating catalyst used is 0.2 to 5.0 parts by weight, particularly 0.5 to 4.0 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers in total. If the amount is less than 0.2 part by weight, the polymerization reaction does not proceed and the residual monomer increases. If the amount exceeds 5.0 parts by weight, the polymerization reaction runs away and heat generation is increased, which is not preferable because it is dangerous.
[0018]
The reaction temperature in the polymerization reaction is not particularly limited, but is preferably from 50 to 70 ° C, and particularly preferably from 55 to 65 ° C. If the reaction temperature is lower than 50 ° C., a long time is required for the reaction, and if it exceeds 70 ° C., the amount of formaldehyde generated in the reaction in a methanol solvent is undesirably large.
[0019]
The vinyl acetate resin obtained as described above preferably has a degree of polymerization of 300 to 3000 in terms of adhesive strength and workability when used as an adhesive, and particularly preferably 400 to 2500. If the degree of polymerization is less than 300, the adhesive strength as an adhesive is insufficient, and if it exceeds 3,000, the viscosity as an adhesive is increased and workability is deteriorated, which is not preferable.
[0020]
Thus, in the present invention, since the generation of formaldehyde during the production of the vinyl acetate resin is particularly suppressed, the emission amount of formaldehyde from the vinyl acetate resin can be reduced.
[0021]
It is also preferable that the vinyl acetate resin of the present invention is blended with various additives to form a resin composition. If necessary, fibers, colorants, plasticizers, surfactants, thixotropic agents, Agent, pot life extender, crosslinking agent (melamine resin, isocyanate compound, metal chelate compound, organometallic compound, hydrazide compound, epoxy compound, imine compound, unsaturated compound, etc.), adhesive resin (rosin, rosin, A rosin derivative or the like can be appropriately compounded.
[0022]
Further, in the present invention, from the viewpoint of further reducing the amount of formaldehyde emission, it is preferable that the vinyl acetate resin contains a conventionally known formaldehyde scavenger, and the content of the formaldehyde scavenger is acetic acid. It is preferably at most 20 parts by weight, particularly preferably at most 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the vinyl resin. If the content is more than 20 parts by weight, various physical properties such as the adhesive performance when the adhesive is used are undesirably reduced.
[0023]
The formaldehyde scavenger is not particularly limited and includes known ones. Examples thereof include urea, thiourea, ethylene urea, dicyandiamide, glyoxal monourethane, imine compounds, hydrazine compounds, and acetoacetate esters. And the like.
[0024]
The vinyl acetate resin of the present invention can be used as it is for paints, pressure-sensitive adhesives and adhesives, but is most preferably used as an adhesive, and most preferably as a floor adhesive.
[0025]
In preparing the floor adhesive, it is preferable to further include a filler, such as an inorganic filler or an organic filler. Examples of the inorganic filler include calcium carbonate, clay, kaolin, talc, silica, and titanium oxide, and examples of the organic filler include wood powder and shell powder.
[0026]
The content of such a filler can be up to about 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the vinyl acetate resin.
[0027]
The above-mentioned adhesives, especially floor adhesives, are usually used in the form of an organic solvent solution, especially a methanol solvent solution. In this case, the solid content concentration of the adhesive is often 50 to 90% by weight from the viewpoint of workability such as coatability.
[0028]
Thus, the vinyl acetate resin of the present invention can be applied to various uses, among which adhesives, particularly very useful as floor adhesives for bonding tiles and sheets made of polyvinyl chloride or the like to the floor, By using such a vinyl acetate resin, the emission amount of formaldehyde from the resin can be reduced.
